 ML> What value will a moderator bring to MUFFIN?

 JD> Whatever is needed.

 ML> This echo, for the last 10 years has not needed a moderator.

 ML> It is fine the way it is ie. unmoderated.

 JD> Minimally is more accurate.  And hopefully that is enough.

 ML> That result is due to the natural obsolescence of BBSes.

 ML> The only thing a moderator will add are those stupid
 ML> periodic notices stating rules and etiquette that
 ML> NOBODY wants to see.

 JD> If one follows some echo that has them, and one doesn't
 JD> want to see them, the simple solution would be to
 JD> ignore them.  Should that be too much trouble,then one
 JD> would be better off to ignore a whole echo that one
 JD> finds irksome.]

 ML> What you described could be applied to spam or trollers.

 ML> But those useless echo rules notifications serve nothing but to clutter
 ML> an echo and make it difficult to search for real new
 ML> mail. People who use an echo should not have to waste
 ML> their time and put more effort and energy into
 ML> searching and discerning relevant messages.

 ML> I've seen the effect of the disgusting pollution that
 ML> "Echo Rules" has caused in the BINK echo. I doubt
 ML> anybody would like the same shocking effect in MUFFIN.

 ML> This echo has no need for a moderator. It has been self-regulating and
 ML> civilised for the last 10 (and more) years.



You have your opinion.  Others, including me, have their own.

You've expressed yours.  And that's the end of that.
The echo is for discussion of Maximus, not the moderation of the echo.

Thanks
